Part #: 6138

The 3M Highland™ Electrical Tape 6138 is a professional-grade vinyl electrical insulating tape engineered for the rigorous demands of automotive and industrial electrical work. This flame-retardant tape provides superior electrical insulation and robust mechanical protection, ensuring secure and safe electrical connections in a diverse range of environments. It is a reliable solution for technicians requiring durable performance and integrity in critical applications.

Key Features

  • Enhanced Safety: Flame-retardant construction significantly improves safety in critical electrical installations by resisting flame propagation.
  • Superior Insulation: Delivers high dielectric strength exceeding 1,200 V/mil, effectively preventing shorts and ensuring safe operation for applications up to 600 volts.
  • Adaptable and Secure: The conformable PVC vinyl material easily wraps and adheres tightly to irregular surfaces, providing complete and secure coverage.
  • Extreme Durability: Offers excellent resistance to abrasion, moisture, common chemicals (alkalis, acids, copper corrosion), and varying weather conditions for both indoor and outdoor reliability.
  • Long-Lasting Adhesion: Designed for strong, enduring bonding that prevents unwrapping and maintains insulation integrity over time, minimizing maintenance needs.

Applications

  • Primary Electrical Insulation: Ideal for insulating wire and cable splices rated up to 600 volts, commonly used in automotive wiring harnesses, industrial machinery, and control panels.
  • Protective Jacketing: Effectively safeguards low and high voltage bus bars and cable splices from environmental factors and mechanical damage.
  • Wire and Cable Harnessing: Efficiently organizes and bundles wires and cables, improving system neatness and providing protection against strain and abrasion.
  • General Electrical Repairs: Suitable for a wide array of electrical maintenance and repair tasks in professional settings, including new installations and service work.
  • Versatile Use: Applicable for both indoor and outdoor settings, as well as above and below ground installations, offering broad utility for professional technicians and mechanics.
